lyrics

Canaries

Don’t you crave it?
Certainty
I once had it
Or it had me
Now I don’t want it
I’ve done wracking my brains

From the pulpit
Platitudes
On the mystery
Of the soul
You build a fantasy
Round a grain of sand

In the midst of nothing
I know something
I could be your premonition
Keep an eye on me
I’ll keep you safe
I could be your early warning
Let me be your early warning

I don’t know what has happened to me
I’m a canary in a coal mine
I flap my wings
I sing my song
Attract attention from the bottom of my cage
I used to feel an illusory
Certainty weighing down on me
A heavy pressure
A heavy load
Now I’m early warning
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know shit anymore
I don’t know

Don’t you crave it?
Certainty
In the entrails
In the tea leaves
The future’s coming to you
I know because I’m here

In the coalmines
Of our hearts
In the parts we
Hope will last
Crushed like diamonds
Forever we glitter in the dark
